Scott F. Griffith, a partner in the Philadelphia office of Rawle & Henderson LLP, presented a program on the U.S. Constitution to students and teachers at Philadelphia’s Holy Cross Parish School on May 7, 2019. The Constitution Program is presented annually by Rawle & Henderson in partnership with the Women for Greater Philadelphia (www.womenforgreaterphiladelphia.org), stewards of Laurel Hill Mansion in East Fairmount Park. Scott and the students engaged in lively discussion regarding a number of timely issues related to the Constitution, including legalization of marijuana, the wedding cake case in which a bakery refused to make a cake for a gay couple, and the sugar tax in Philadelphia. In addition, Scott talked about the 1803 U.S. Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison, which established the principle of judicial review.
